Stiffer trusses add handling control and reduce the danger of buckling during lifting and placement. The rolled edges of the chords and webs help protect workers from cuts. Easier to Install TrusSteel trusses can be as light as one-half the weight of similar wood or "C" stud steel trusses. Unlike some other CFS trusses, laterally stiff TrusSteel trusses resist folding or "butterflying". And TrusSteel trusses work exceptionally well in rafted installations. No Special Tools Required The tools you are now using to install CFS framing are all you need to install TrusSteel trusses. A full line of TrusSteel construction hardware allows you to make connections with standard screws. Installation details and construction hardware are available from your Authorized TrusSteel Fabricator. Reduced Callbacks TrusSteel trusses reduce callbacks because they start straighter and remain straighter than many other types of trusses. And the dimensional stability of steel reduces drywall fastener pops. Save Time, Effort and Money TrusSteel trusses streamline the building cycle and save money. • Timely quotations from local TrusSteel Authorized Fabricators provide competitive prices and define project costs up front. • Sealed engineering drawings and code- compliant components expedite submittals. • Quicker turn-arounds for revisions. • Delivered to the site ready to install, shop- built trusses save days of labor. • Faster truss installation with accurate layouts, extensive details, and a full line of installation hardware. • Easier site inspections with comprehensive shop drawings and clearly identified components. Delivered Quality Roof lines plane accurately, eaves and soffits align properly, and interior ceiling lines are flat and true. High-quality TrusSteel trusses help you achieve your quality goals. Delivered Value From bidding to punch list, TrusSteel delivers value to your project through increased safety, quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Contractor-Friendly Installation Truss Rafting What is Rafting? Truss rafting is a framing technique where completed trusses, designed to be rafted, are assembled into an entire roof section on the ground and then lifted as an assembly onto the building structure. The assembly can consist of just the trusses, or the trusses plus purlins, roof deck and final roofing which is all installed on the ground before the assembly is lifted into place. Employing a rafting technique can save time, increase safety and reduce insurance costs on many projects. Why Raft With TrusSteel? The exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics and lateral stability of the TrusSteel trusses make them the ideal truss for use in a rafting process. These characteristics allow an average-sized crane to lift the completed truss assembly into position. The stiffness and stability of the TrusSteel trusses create an assembly that will survive a lift without introducing significant additional bracing.
